J.J. Cale is a man of few words. His songs are based on the barest of essentials, with the lyrics never fighting for space. His album titles never exceed three words, and most have gotten by on just one. #8 was released in 1983, 11 years after his debut, NATURALLY. He's backed by some of the finest players available, including Jim Keltner, Tim Drummond, Spooner Oldham, and even Richard Thompson. What's most remarkable is how these stellar musicians all blend in seamlessly with Cale and his songs, creating a sound not that significantly different from that of his other albums. The continuity of his sound comes from the fact that his songs are sturdy and simple enough to retain their character no matter who's playing. This music rewards repeated listenings; the relentless grooves are like a river rolling by--the patterns never appear the same way twice.
